Kim talked to us to see our comfort of riding and experience level. Then we headed over to the barn to see what horses were feeling up for a ride. She chose the horses and saddled them up. Kim truly loves her horses and cares for them with so much compassion. She brushed each one, sprayed them down so the bugs didn't bother them and saddled them up. She made sure our stirrup's fit properly and we loaded up for the ride. Once out of the gate we headed for the trail and then through the woods, crossed a creek and even met some of her neighbors along the ride. We trotted and galloped, my goodness I loved EVERY second of it!!! The horses listened very well. They look to Kim as their leader and will not run without her doing so even if you try to get them to. We will definitely be back when the weather cools down. I love that she doesn't run her horses in summer much because of the heat. This is a wonderful place to ride.

In just a few weeks , I had learned so much, there's actually a lot more skill involved than just getting up on the horse and walking with it! Joy had been patient , she knows her horses and she knows who would do well on what horse, just by looking at you ! The horses are all nice. It's in her huge backyard, there is plenty of room to learn in her ring. She offers the best price on town , and I feel there's a little more effort into her lessons because these are her own animals! Joy will teach you the ins and outs . She knows everything, feeding, cleaning, brushing , riding.. "Those who can't do, teach" is NOT how you would describe her because she DOES know everything and also teaches you what she knows!!! Absolutely love it here, it has been one of my best decisions!

This is truest a stable like none I have ever experienced, again, a true sense of community. I can not wait to go back again, whether I end up riding or not.

Caroline's husband, Bill, and daughter, Jane, help with barn operations, feeding and caring for the horses and menagerie of dogs on-site while expertly matching horses with riders of all ages and levels. The barn is beautiful but not fussy. The horses are friendly, well-mannered, and well-loved, and the lessons are safe and fun. My lesson groups have changed as I've aged, but I'm constantly challenged and enthralled with my weekly riding lesson at Ashford Farm.

Hidden Valley Horse Farm has been located inside Ridley Creek State Park since 1999. It is the…read morefirst thing you see on your left as you enter the main park entrance. The set up utilizes some horse facilities from the Jeffords estate. Horse culture at this location dates back to the turn of the 19th C. and has links to Samuel Riddle, breeder of Man O' War and other famed racehorses. Boarding is available here with beautiful paddocks. There are 40 acres of pasture for grazing. There is a brand new enclosed ring that was built about a year ago. Also a heated tack room, and washing area (outside). We notice that horses are always blanketed when it is cold out, and they always look lively and content. In addition to boarding, they offer beginner, intermediate and advanced lessons, horse education ("hands-on"), pony rides, and parties. Often people host birthday parties at the nearby park picnic area with playground, and enjoy pony rides as part of the party. To visit and exercise your horse, there is a separate horse trail adjacent to the horse farm, just across Gradyville Road. North of Gradyville Rd the trail is roughly a figure 8 shape, & is the longest trail overall (4.7mi) for the park, and the only one equestrian-accessible. This is the widest unpaved park trail, since it is for horses. Note that walkers & dogs also use this trail, and populate it more than horses. A large northern section of the trail abuts Edgmont Country Club golf course, & the green's activities can be observed from the trail.

The horses all go to local / schooling shows and rated shows, including Devon and HITS... not your average lesson horses!

I just started riding here and I couldn't be happier. Northwestern Equestrian Facility (also referred to as Northwestern Stables) is a historic barn dating back about a century, previously owned by Philadelphia elite (not the Yelp variety, actual rich people), currently owned by Fairmount Park, operated independently. It's located in beautiful Chestnut Hill, adjacent to the Wissahickon Valley Trail. It's a non-profit, and it houses about 30 (?give or take) horses on about 10 acres. These stables are OLD! There are two main barns, a nicely sized indoor arena, and an outdoor arena, along with various turnout fields for the horses. The history and age of this place gives an absolute charm, but don't expect "luxury" here. It is a working barn. That being said, it is super clean, has really big box stalls, and has tons of people working there that care about the place so, so much. While I ride a privately owned horses there, they have many lesson horses and ponies and offer riding lessons 5-6 days a week for pretty much every level of rider from brand new beginners to people with a lot of experience. They also offer full boarding, and have a number of privately owned horses being boarded there as well. All of the people I've met so far are not only super friendly, but welcoming, warm, funny, and just have huge hearts. They are genuine horse people who are there because they love the horses. They care about the stable, they care about the horses, they care about the history, and they help make this place what it is. So happy I found this place. It improves my life in a way that words cannot express.

I like that they match you with your horse according to your skill level, weight and height, days before you arrive. Everything was organized so we could get the most out of our horseback riding experience. The prices for an hour long ride were very affordable. If you're funny about helmets bring a scarf to wrap your hair. We rode down through a clearing into the water, up and down long scenic fall leaf-covered hills. The instructors took a group shot of us for a nice keepsake. I highly recommend Sheeder Mill Farms for groups of all skill levels.
